Fishing News DNR Fishing Report Page 6 Water temperatures in the middle bay are hovering around 70 degrees and the fishing for striped bass is about as good as it gets. Trolling, jigging and chumming are all excellent ways to catch striped bass. Trolling has been good along the major shipping channel edges from the Bay Bridge south past Bloody Point, Buoy 83 to the CP Buoy. Most are trolling a mix of medium-sized bucktails dressed with sassy shads in chartreuse and darker colors in tandem or behind umbrella rigs. Spoons can also be effective and some anglers are mixing in a few large parachutes in their trolling spreads, in the hope of intercepting a large striped bass. The western side of the shipping channel from Thomas Point south past Chesapeake Beach to Calvert Cliffs has also been a popular place to troll. Jigging has been a very popular way to catch striped bass along the same channel edges others are trolling. Many are using relatively light jig heads with skirted soft plastics in 6 to 8-inch lengths. There is a wide opinion on colors, and pink and purple often come up in the conversation. Chumming and chunking has been a successful way to get striped bass to come to you. Perhaps one of the most popular places to set up is the 35-foot outside edge of Hacketts Bar. Allowing baits to sink to the bottom at the back of the chum slick tends to account for the largest striped bass. The outside edge of the Hill has been a good place to chum and there have also been good reports coming from the Diamonds. The shallow water fishery for striped bass continues to provide fun light tackle topwater action in numerous areas of the bay and tidal rivers. The rocks at Poplar Island have been great to cast poppers in the early morning and late evening hours. As the mornings wear on, many are finding casting swimshads is another great way to catch fish. There are too many places to count along bay shores and tidal rivers where shallow water striped bass can be found feeding. Most of these fish tend to be in the 18 to 19-inch range, but they offer a lot of fun on light tackle.
